THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
with Malice Toward None, With Charity for
AL"
From tho Ser York Herald }

The brave Southcrners who tooh part N
Pickett's brilliant charge at Gettysburg,
have been looking forward to July with
high anticipations. They hoped to meet
their Northern opponents on that famous
and fateful day, to rchearse the events
which were big with historic significance
and to recount to each other innumerable
adventures and hairbreadth escapes.
They were also 10 take with them a mon
ument, commemorative of the splendid
courage of their comrades, and to erect it
on the furthest point reached within the
union lines. The plan is approved by th"
survivors of the union forces which re-
pulsed and drove them back. There seems
no harm in marking the spot where the
Northern forces were temporarily broken,
and if q monument to Southern courage
stands close to monument Of Northern
pluck, what of it? The brave men on both
sides crossed their swords there, and the
spot will forever have a painful interest for
every American.
But the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial
Association say NO, politely, yet decided
ly. The are willing to have the monument
built at Pickett's starting point, but not
within the lines Of the Northern army.
They object, also, to the inscription on the
base Of the moument, two lines written IN
pencil by General Lee and found in his army
satchel after Appomattox:
Glorious is his fate and envicd is lis lot
Who for his country fights and for it dies.
This strikes US a very mean and small
business. So it will strike every soldier
who won honor on that field. The brave
man is always ready to give deserved praise
to his opponent. 1t was an awful day,
that day of Pickett's charge, and stcrEi
Southern stuff was met by stern stuff from
the North If those magnificent armies
could meet in July, 1887, they would pre-
sent arms 10 each other. If the cause OF
the North was victorious it was not because
the South lacked courage, and we may well
be grateful that after 25 years the survi,
vors, Northern and Southern, shake hands
as citizens of united country.
The dead of both sides may properly be
honored. The South should be Invited to
build as many monuments as they please.
and on any spot to which their dash and
valor give them claim. Those heroes lie
side by side in neighboring graves, and il
the monuments of North and South touch
each other they are simply typical OF the
two forces which during the charge were
close enough to cross bayonets.

Grants Orders to Sheridan.

In connection with the criticisms made
by General Rosecrans on General Sheri.
dams ravages in the valley of Virginia
during the war, a number of dispatches
sent by General Grant to General Sheri-
dan, from August to November, 1864,
have been made public, which show that
the devastation wrought by Sheridan
was committed partly under General
Grants orders. Under date of August
16, 1864, General Grant directed Sheri-
dan to send division of cavalry through
London county to s'destroy and carry
off crops, animals, negroes and all men
under fifty years of age capable Of bear
ing arms. In this way you will get
many of Mosby's men," Under date of
August 26, General Grant ordered
Sheridan to ''do all the damage to rail-
roads and crops that you can, carry off
stock OF all descriptions and negroes, so
as to prevent further planting. If the
war is to last another year We want the
Shenandoah Valley to remain barren
waste" In November he suggested to
General Sheridan that it would be ad-
visible to 'tnotify all citizens living east
of the Blue Ridge to move north of the
Potomac all their stock, grain and pro-
visions of every description" "Ihere
is no doubt" General Grant continued,
''about the necessity of cleaning out that
country so that it will not support
Mosby's gang. So long as the war lasts
these people must be prevented from
raising another crop, both there and as
high up the valley as we can control" +"

A New Telephone.

DR.. Cornelius Herr has invented q tele-
phone which can be made for 62!! cents.
Wherever the electric button can be used,
Herz's telephone can be applied. 1t is es-
pecially adapted to use in hotels and resi-
dences. With it one can speak as well as
ring. The people will welcome all inven.
tions of the kind. They add to the conve-
niences we now enjoy.
Ere long the rate on the Bell telephone
will be reduced, and it will be placed within
reach of hundreds who are denied the use
Of it by the unreasonable and eNorbitant
rental which is demanded by the company.
Illinois proposes that the rental in that
State snail not exceed $50 per annum for
each instrument. New York is canvassing
the question. The price ought to be re-
duced by the company itself.-1uguSta

A GEORGIA VIEW.
The Curious Comments of Some People on the
DischarSe OF Riackwood.
(From the Atlanta Constitution)

ttrOm the Atlanta CONsLllGlOu'J
The governor has as yet received no ap-
plication for a requisition for F. 4. Black
wood, the much-fouglt-over forger VINO IS
now under arrest in Aiken county. South
Carolina
It will be remembered that when Black
woods application for writ OF haoeas
corpus was decided in his favor, instead OF
being turned loose, he was placed upon
South Carolina soil, but by strange coin
cidence. right within reach OF some South
Carolina cooStables, who had warrants for
his arrest. 1t vas supposed that Immediately
after his arrest application for / requiSitIoA
would bc made by the Augusta authorities
But so far there are no evidences OF any
such action.
The decision of Judge Roncy in this case
seems to amuSe good many members OF
the profession in Atlanta. They say that
the only question before the court was the
legality of the arrest Of The prisoner, and
that that question could not have been
made by the prisoner. That has been the
universal decision. So Judge Roney must
have released the prisoner because he found
that his arrest was Illegal and that the SOW
ere:gn-that is the State of South Carolina
was demanding his release. There IS no
law on the face Of the earth to sustain hlm
in this position 1t is not comfy nor eX
tradition nor anything else But the most
amusing fact connected with the whole
affair was that Blackwood was not released.
If entitled to his liberty he ought to have
walked out of the court house e free man.
But it seems that While declaring that he
ought to be released. the Judge did not re-
lease him. but instead put him in custody OF
the sheriff to carry him back to South Car
olina. The sheriff didn't carry him back
to South Carolina, but carried him down
below Augusta to Sand Bar Ferry, and put
him in = boat and carried him over to the
South Carolina coast on Beach Island,
where two South Carolina officers stood
ready to arrest him.
sFWho sent them to that particular point
on the river" asked prominent attorney
who was discussing the question yesterday,
ssWho sent the sheriff with his prisoner
several miles down the river when there
was broad bridge BY which they could
have crossed to Carolina? Where did

ing prisoner on Labeas corpus and still
holding him in custody? Who sent the
sheriff down the rivery AL this may be
very adroit management, but it isn't law.
Such decision will be ridicuied on both
sides of the river.
This is a sample of the queries put by
different men bers of the bar when discuss
ing the Blackwood matter. The prepon-
derance of opinion seems to be that Judge
Roney's decision is not good law, but while
they criticise his decision, all join in paying
the highest tribute to his character as mall
and in expressing the belief that he has
acted conscientiouSly throughout

4 Sensation

Why is it That three Bottles Of 3. Z. &.
are sold n Atlanta to one ofzs any other
blood remedy, and twice as much con
sumeG in the State of Georgia as any
other preparation? No one need take
our wcrI, but simply ask the druggists.
Ask The people. They are competent
witnesses. Six houses il Atlanta are
buying B. 3. 3. in I've ard t.n gross
lots, and scIle of them buy rs often as
every two months. Why these unpre-
cedented sales here at home with so little
advertising? AIodesty forbids us making
reply. Had B. 3. B. been before the

would not be necessary to be bolstcreC

the two men charged with having kid.
Mapped the forger Blackwood, are making
a strong effort to bring about some compro-
mise by which these men may escape trial
upon the charge hanging over their heads.
For some days the officers here have been
expecting to receive an application for q
reouisition for Blackwood, but no such ap-
plcation has as yet been received.
1t will be remembered that when the
habeas corpus case was decided in favor OF
Blackwood the court, instead Of ordering
his release, turned him over 10 The custody
of the sheriff of Richmond county, with in
stUctions to place him back upon South
Carolina soil" This was done, but it was
done in way which indicates that there
must have been some previous understand
ing between the authorities Of Richmond
county and those of Aiken county, S. c.
A broad bridge joins Augusta and Ham
burg, and had the prisoner been released,
and he should have been under the decision
of the court, he would undoubtedly have
made straight for that bridge as the short
est path to safety. It's natural 10 suppose,
too, that the sheriff would ordinarily have
taken Blackwood to South Carolina by this
route.
: Did he do this? Hardly. Mr. Sheriff evi
dently has fondness for water routes, and
to crafty this fondness takes his prisoner
several miles down the river, where row
boat is obtained, and together they are
landed on the South Carolina bank Of the
river. By a strange coincidence, several
Aiken county constables happen 10 be at
the same point at the same time and the re-
suit is Blackwood's ride to liberty is moth
ing more than a transfer from jail in
Georgia to one in South Carolina.
Blackwood is supposed to be held until a
requisition can be issued for him, but he is,
in reality, being held until some sort of an
agreement can be brought about.
Stone and McNally are considerably
averse to being tried in South Carolina foI
kidnapping, and if they can effect some ar
rangement by which the wounded honor
of the State of South Carolina can be ap.
peased they will gladly do so. As the
matter now stands they are to be turned
over to the authorities Of Aiken county, S.
c., as soon es the cases pending in Georgia
courts are decided.
1t is stated upon good authority that
their attorneys have made a proposition to
drop the prosecution against Blackwood il
case the same is done with the cases against
Stone and McNally.
This is the same proposition that was
made by their friends before the habeaS
corpus case was decided. The South Car
olina authorities refused to entertain it then,
and it does not seem likely that they will
do so now. If this fails, a compromise
will be sought on some other basis.
In the meantime Blackwood languishes
